I have my copy of BSG.

I'll be over here, reading.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So here's the plan. I'm offering to run Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica, starting on September 13 my time, which also happens to be my 40th birthday. t blows tiny horn The player list is currently:

omnis_audis
StuntHusband
Sean K
Pete

There's room for up to two more players. If you want to sign on, let me know.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Why do I play Catan on Live? Idiots abound! Dude soldiers me instead of 1st place dude. Then trades with him so he can win. Ugg.

If it looks like we're going to be short, is it worth asking elsewhere in B.org?

Someone should give Miracleman a kick to see if he's interested.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm in if folks are up to dealing with someone who doesn't have the game and the hilarity that is bound to ensue from that.

I think BT's comment in post 3741 still stands; it's less convenient but not a deal-breaker.

BT, did you have some kind of basic game doc that you sent out to the new players last time?

I did indeed. And I now have takers for the last two seats, i.e. Kalshane and Laga. We'll be starting in around a week; in the meantime, have a think about which character you might like.

Hubby just opened his new Space Hulk (from Games Workshop, for those who don't know the oeuvre). He's geeking out over the new miniatures, which are, admittedly, cool. He says he hasn't felt this delighted since Christmas when he was ten years old.

BT, I'm wavering between Tigh, The Chief or reclaiming the sullied name of Apollo. Are characters chosen in the order of play like in the rules or do you do something different for online?

Connie, I'm jealous.

I'll be going by the rules procedure, so I'll assign an order randomly.
